Janelle had a week off work so we decided to get away on a little "staycation" and visit some of the local tourist spots. We had a swim at Lake Eacham, chocolate and cheese at Gallo, checked out Youngaburra and had a smashing chicken parmy at the pub. Uncle Noel and Auntie Nyleve had us around for an afternoon dinner party with Nonno and Grandad, Uncle Tuppi and Auntie Jodie and cuz Tianna. We picked and ate lychees, fed the sheep, chooks, barramundi and said hello to the mini ponies!
We hit Coffeeworks and then picked up our chickens from our Tableland friends Simone and Mal. They had handpicked some chicks for us to raise back in Cairns. Thanks guys looking forward to the challenge!
The next day we caught the ferry over to Green Island for the day. Stella had a fun time swimming and diving on the reef, she is going to be a great freediver! We did the glass bottom boat and fed schools of fish. We went into the crocodile enclosure for feeding time and Stella got a big fright went the first croc lunged at the chook bait and slammed into the cage beside her! We finished the day off with a swim in the pool and a nice boat ride back to the mainland. Very lucky to live in such an awesome pocket of the world!
